I'm an introvert. I have absolutely loved working from home on my own when I've done it in the past. But, when I was interacting with a manager or someone whom I had never worked in-person with and didn't interfact with much online, I always felt insecure and vulnerable. Then there are the awkward "everyone needs to fly to headquarters and meet everyone else for team-building" moments; the anticipation of those get-togethers always made me feel uncomfortable.
- whatthesmack 10y agoI identify so much with this statement. Working from home has made my "daily grind" feel sustainable. The downside to all my remote roles is that I've struggled with insecurity with respect to my stance in the team/org. That, combined with social anxiety, leads to a bit of fear for the "fly to HQ" moments. Fortunately, I currently work with really nice/good/hardworking/respectable folks who (unknowingly) help allay that fear a bit.
